Official audio for Ken Boothe's chart-topping version of Bread's pop hit, 'Everything I Own' . The song was written by David Gates in memory of his father who passed away in 1963 before the singer-songwriter's success with Bread. Gates later recollected that the song's title originated from a time when he had very few possessions, but sent his mother an orchid for her birthday, an act that so moved her that his father told him that he could have had "anything she owned" in return of the gift. Boothe's version made number 1 in the UK charts on 26 October 1974, staying at the position for three weeks, ultimately spending a total of 12 weeks in the national Top 50.

You may lose them one day Someone takes them away And you don't hear the words they say And I would give anything I own I'd give up my life, my heart, my home I would give anything I own Just to have you back again Just to talk to you words again If there's someone you know That won't let you go And taking it all for granted? You may lose them one day Someone takes them away And you don't hear the words they say And I would give anything I own I'd give up my life, my heart, my home And I would give anything I own Just to have you back again Just to talk to you words again Just hold you once again #KenBoothe #TrojanRecords #LoversRock
